People don't actually stay still, you know - when their area is a disaster, they go somewhere else, right? And that's just a natural human impulse.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People either leave or they stay.
People leave when life becomes untenable where they are.
People also leave presence in a place even when they are no longer there.
Nobody will leave any place unless they're forced out. That's the nature of humans. Once you're there, you're there. I've never seen anybody get up voluntarily and leave any place.
Certain travellers give the impression that they keep moving because only then do they feel fully alive.
People move from place to place and job to job, but they no longer need to lose touch.
We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run down.
Sometimes I feel people can move past what they've grown up around and their surroundings while in a place and some people need closure after they've left and then coming back. I've seen it happen with people I knew growing up that hated each other, and then years later you go home and you see them walking down the street and they have babies.
It is in the genes of cities to bounce back from disasters - whether natural or man made. The denizens of suburbia have no choice but to survive and move on. But it is the manner in which different cities respond to emergencies that sets them apart.
We're always experiencing joy or sadness. But there are lots of people who've closed down. And there are times in one's life when one has to close down just to regroup.
